7 Best Boat Trips in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Set sail on your tropical vacation aboard one of these best boat trips in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!

Back in November, we had the pleasure of celebrating the wedding of our dear friends, Ashley and Ryan in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! It was a fantastic trip to one of the many all-inclusive resorts dotting the coastline. As with any Caribbean vacation at an all-inclusive resort, the trip was filled with rum drinks, reggaeton dancing, plenty of sunshine, and all-you-can-eat buffets.

But the best part was how Ashley and Ryan decided to say thank you for everyone making the trip. After the wedding, the couple invited the wedding party + a few other friends on a catamaran trip around the serene waters of Punta Cana!

We went snorkeling and sailing while stopping at a sandbar. Plenty of rum and beer was consumed. What a wonderful day. Just see for yourself:

But the entire experience had me thinking, “hmmm, what are the best boat trips in Punta Cana?” Sure, our trip was perfect for our medium-sized group, but what would other types of groups find?

The rest of this article details the 7 best boat trips in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I give advice on costs, who operates the trip, and the types of groups the trip is ideal for. Enjoy!

So this is the exact boat we took out to celebrate the wedding, however, the link listed is for an individual ticket aboard the vessel for a morning or afternoon trip.

It’s a great boat, with an extremely fun crew. Even though our trip was private, I would imagine boarding the vessel with a group of wild strangers would be equally as fun! Oh, and easier on your wallet!
